thank you, andrew. per my response to ron, it 
seems to me that rather than reimbursing me 
for money i put out, linux benefits more if you 
spend some money on some linuxy thing (doesn't 
have to be sf-lug related): 
* buy something from ZaReason or other linux-
specific business 
* put in a little time improving community 
awareness 
* help out with maintaining the sf-lug and/or 
balug hosts, specially help with the XEN 
switchover 
* come up with ideas how people can help and 
put them on the list.
